i was in 67 position(84 left or something) with a stack of 78000 , blinds were 4000-8000, 800 ante. (pot over 20000 before any action)
i was in mp2 with JJ, i went all in with intent to steal blinds.
BB calls with QJ and hits Q.
BB wins, i lose all.
Did i do wrong here or was i just unlucky?
Edit: I think i posted this wrong, can anyone move this to mtt discussion?

I actually hoped i did wrong here,, because i played for 4 hours winning only
1,80$....
But i guess its part of poker life, i did learn alot along the way though...

this is the first day of my third week playing...
I guess ive been on a downswing since i started, but i dont think i know what
a downswing is yet.
the math of poker is what interests me the most (and money), because i dont think most people understand just how advanced conditional probability is. ( so we have an edge?)
I'm playing BSS, SnG and MTT, i feel this may be to much to learn at once, but
i wont be sure untill i learn by doing. ( or until a pro tells me im an idiot)
Your play was fine, of course. JJ should not be the weakest hand you push. You pushed a top 3% hand. When you get your money in as a 2:1 favorite, sometimes you are going to lose. This doesn't mean there is anything safer to do. You are simply going to bust out of a lot of tournaments.

Right, most people don't know what a downswing looks like. It's not a downward trend or a graph which looks like someone climbed a mountain and then fell off the other side. The following graph shows a real downswing from a professional SNG player who grinds $16 SNGs:

Cards have no memory. They don't owe you anything. Just make the right decision in each situation, and you will reach the long run eventually, where poker looks like a game of chess for $10k with a coin flip for $1k. At that point you can be quite unlucky, and yet still be far ahead.
It was the first hand i pushed, it was hard for me to take
big risks after playing for 4 hours.
I did steal blinds more than anyone on the table though, so im happy
about that.
But I think its time to go over the articles again.
If you're unsure about pushing JJ with 10bb and ante i don't understand how u could be amongst the most blindstealing at the table

Didn't take much to be the most blindstealing, almost nobody were stealing
